Introduction to Screen Printing

Duration: Three-week evening class
Dates: Tue 18 Feb 18:00 - Tue 4 Mar 2025 20:30
Location: Print Studio

The perfect introduction to the screen printing process. 

Screen printing is one of the most popular printmaking techniques in DCA Print Studio. In this three-week evening class you will learn how to create wonderfully colourful and graphic prints using hand-cut paper stencils. This class will give you the basic skills needed to move onto more advanced screen printing courses. 

It was a wonderful and informative day! Our teacher was so lovely and taught us all very well. Could not recommend this class enough - will be back again for sure!

Excellent. Pace just perfect and the tutor was very understanding.
